. qW, liusie doring, you must tell
me what tfe matter is, for ever since
yq received that, letter from George,
three days tgo, you have not seemed
like yourself, and this is the second
time to.diy,that I: have caught you in
loars." And;llttlo Miss Harvey seated
Jiersplfon a low stool by the side of the
eoft on which lay h'er frieid and guest,
rs.Susie Arnold.
Mrs. Arnold mused her head from
the arm of the sefa, brushed away her
tears-and said,: half laughingly: "I've
a good mind to t ell you, Angle, for
,ydgn y'our,raaliery would be tirel'erable
to-my present feehings:."
You need not fear any raillery,
Ausie, for I promise to be real good,"
And Mrs. Ilaivey settled herself down
wtith u look cf mock solemnity on her
mtinling; dimpled face.
Smiles chased the tears frem Susie's
eyes by this tisme, but sho hesitated
-aoidiwfat before she commenced: and
hesa spoke, rapIdly ahd with a height

There had been a smile 'lurking

* closed and lood up, her blue eyes
K swimming in tears again. it L'anished
S istantly,. and taking her hands ini
both of hers, she.said gently, "So, my
dear, you have been making yourself
very unhappy over imaginary troubles;
but, believe me; as far as I am con9
cerned, they shall never bo realized.
Susie opened her mouth to speak,
but Angie placed her hand playfully
over it and remained In deep thought
for a few moments. "George is coming
* to-morrow on the 5 o'clock trai, isalie
not?" she askied at length;.
Susie nodded assenit,
'Well, -I have an idea, but I want
time to perfect it. Go into the garden
and regain your spirits. I wili meet

.Susie promised and Angie went up
to her mrol, a mischievops light danc

Puff! puff! screechi an4witp, >groan
and a jerk, the iron nionstey sto lpeld In
the little depot, and George Arnold,
traveling bag inh nd, sprang from, thg
dusty car a nc watlked leisurely up tile
pleasant street that led to. 4ngie liar
vey's vine.covered home. -
"Wonder how Angle looks," he
mused. "I have. not seep her for ten
years, she' was pretty and loveable
then;" here a sigh escaped his lips;
"she is famous now and free too;" here
a discontented look came into his lage,,
dark eyes; ' but"I have no ight to Il
dulgo in such thoughts, what would
Susie say? poor girl, shn.lins ctt tihe,
faculty of always making bome hpppy;
but I suppose I must bear with her as
patiently as Lean;" , and witl} anpther
sigh he quickened his pace and was
soon in tront of the "Fairy Iloweri'," as
Susie called A ngle's bonie.
"All'vines, llowers and shruvb3, just
l.ko her;" he again mused; "I hope she
has not changed in looks'or manner;"
and with a nervousness that was not
natural, h "ang the bell.
A seivy ,t opened the door and ush
ered hini'.fto the parlor. .$usiq sprang
forward and threw her ams loVingly
around his neck; he returned her'warm
greeting in rather an eitbarrassed
,anner, and then turned to a digni.led
tle lady who was standing by the con
tre table. George looked confused, but
Susie came to the rescue.
"biy dear Angie, this is George,
don't you recognixe him?"
"I should have hardly recoginized
him," returned the lady, deiurely;
"he has grown older and darker sluce I
saw him last; and I thiink."ie found some
difliculty in -recognizing me; we have
bath changed; time changes all things,"
sie added, solemnly. "Nevertheless,
you are .very welcome, Mr. Arnold,"
and sheo'held ouit her. hand. George
took It nuimured some inarticulate
sofa beside his wife. It Was a4elief to
turn fion that sombre looking ilgure
to his own biight little Wife. 'Susie was
arrayed in white with blue ribbons;
her bright hair was becomingly ar
ranged in curls and puffs, and' her biue
eyes overflowing with love-light, mado
her look vciy beautiful to her husband,
just then,;
In contrast to her was prit Mrs.
Harvey, her curls all comol baok tln
ior a widow's cap, her dress of' deepest
black, withdut a rle, bow' or flower
to relieve its motto.ony, while her smil
ing, dimpled face wasdrawn down into
a look of cold precisloi; even the sil
very tones of her volco were changed
to a disagreoablo monotone as she said;
"My friend, excuse np; my arduous
dail.ies demDand my attenti9n. We shall
meet in half an hour at tile tea tab!si.
And, bowiug ctitl)y, she pAsad out
of the room.
"Oh, my darling! how glad I m 'to
see you again,', exclaimed 'George',
throwmng his arms ar:ound .his wlfe and
pressing kisses on lier brow anid lps.
"Bunt where !s baby?"
Susie led him -to the bay wizj ow,,

"'What a beautiful place this is,"
George remarked, as ho and Sagtie
stepped out on the piazza, to admire
some rare plants; "but how Angie has
changed; I should not have ktnown her.
Itaven't you found It rather dull here,
darling?"
"No, indeed, I have had a, very
pleasant visit," returned Susie; but she

lips.
At that moment the tea bell rang
and liusio led the way to the supp3r4

table.
"I htope, Mr. Arnold," said Aii le,
"that you have made ah'iand)iint to~

"I had hope to remain some days,

George'was so disappointed and an
noyed, that-he could hardly thank her
for her miiarc.
They hll, retired early, and, as sboh
as Geotg6 and Sse we'e alone, he e.
clalped almost peelshly:
"I woid like to know what has
changed Angle into suola n atiff, ;igni

Susie said nothing, but repaid the
compiinient by a fond look and holding
up her tips for ia kiss.
The next morning George hurried
Susie about her packing to is to go cn
the first train, and to pasi aiway the
time he stalked about the gartlen like
an uneasy ghost.
"Angie, darig, it is too, bad .for
you to disguise yourself in this way just
for a whim of mine," exchimed'Susie,
cloliing up from her packinl and im
pulsively throwing her arms. arouiid
Angle's neck.
"Ifush, dear," returned Angle,
"perhaps your wfiole fiituro happidese

And peal after ieal of merry laughter

the neoessities of lace-making, The
lace-workers wished to make a jubileo
offering of these to the Qiieen, thinking
that she might choose to present them
to some art school or collcotlon. They
wera greatly diaappolited, however, to
receive a somewhat peremptory reply to
the effect that the Queen declined the
offering. I found more lace makers at
Beer than at Lyme, while Sidmouth,
still further west, on the Devonshire

Dr? Samuel Sexton says on ' tie sub-.
ject of boximg the ears. lhe has upon his
records lifty-one cases in which the ears
have beeii injured by blows of the hand
or fist. Of these thirty-one were mnale8
and twent,y females. Of the males
thirteen 4Rd 6een boxed .upon the right
ear, thirteen upon. the.loft and thre
upon both ears. One was kicked by a
comipanioni upon the left ear while bath

jured by having the head violently
squeezed betwveen the hands of another
person.- Of the females fo,inr Wera

"I suppose," said the reporter, "that.

' Yes. I remember a customer com
ing to me not long ago for his second
artificial leg. He had worin the first for
a number of years. He said that he
was in much trouble of niind. He was
going to get married, and had been
courting his intended for year and a
half, and she did ndt know but' that'Ite
was entirely sound. The question in his
mind was whether to tell her beforb or
wait until, after marriage. I advised
hin to.inforn her beforehantl, as other
wise she might have legal ground . to
apply for an annulment ol the marriage
on the ground of deception. He told
me afterward that he followed My ad

into my office, and said lie wanted an

had to put back on account of the col.
